The game got a lot of hate online, but I've generally found when a game is hated on, there's usually something more. So I decided to actually play the game. I'm 5 hours in

Honestly I like it, for telltale like walking simulator, it sets up the story pretty well, it has some nice sci-fi beats. It's good for what it is. It isn't anything it promises not to be. I think it's a good game, I'd recommend waiting until it goes on sale for $10 maybe. At that price point it's about the cost of a movie and That's where I put it in terms of value pricing.

Then people are entitled to be upset, because the entire store page is advertising a combat heavy action game.

Sure, agreed. If people are disappointed that's fine, everyone is entitled to their perspective and opinion, hell I'm not even recommending people by the game right now, I think it's worth it at $5 or $10.

The whole point of this post is I do see value in the game as it exists, maybe not as what people want it to be
